Mom's Nut & Date Candy
Yield: 1 Batch
Ingredients and directions for this recipe
1 c Nuts, finely chopped-(walnuts, pecans, etc.)
1 c Dates, finely chopped
2 c Sugar, granulated
1/2 c Water (up to 3/4 cup)
1 tb Karo
Boil a syrup of the sugar, water and Karo; stop as
or before it reaches the soft ball stage. Let cool. Beat in the dates until
they "disintegrate," then the nuts.
Wet a dish towel in cold water. Spoon the candy
along the middle of the towel in piles. Fold towel over; roll it, pressing
firmly constantly. Leave to cool and harden. Slice approximately 1/4-inch
pieces. Might want to roll slices in coconut, chopped nuts, etc.
